Buy my stuff!

Flags for sale on Seventh Ave. 

Let Direct TV bring you the cup.



The red light district has also gotten into the act, including the La Piscina brothel. 
Another brothel shows its support - or tries to attract international customers. 

A huge screen on the side of La Torre Colpatria broadcasts the games.
